Her middle-aged granddaughter’s comments 100 years later:

Since Grandma didn’t write any specific for this date, I’ll share an advertisement that I found for Acme Dress Forms. I knew a few people who had dress forms when I was a kid. Does anyone have them anymore?

I actually own a dress form right now but would love to have the one you pictured. I do a lot of sewing and am probably more of a tailor but love to have a garment on my form that I can see and admire. Wish I could have the one above!!!

It sounds like Grandma was too tired to think. Bless her heart.
A lot of the women back then did some sort of needlework or sewing, I wonder if your Grandma had a dress form.
I always wanted a dress form. I’ve got it in my mind that I may try and make one someday using the duct-tape idea, but I probably won’t.
